GO BEARS GO beat most of these in ready fashion when winning the Railway Stakes over this C&D 6 weeks ago, so this likeable and professional 2-y-o has obvious claims of following up. Castle Star and Dr Zempf finished second and fourth respectively behind the selection that day and warrant respect given both remain capable of better.
